And how to add wait time in powershell?

Answer 1

Yes that should work given that the script and is in the exact location and has the same name as the batch file. I'm not sure why you are wanting to add a wait time in PowerShell, but the cmdlet that you are looking for is start-sleep

Answer 2

You could put the packages in a text file and do this:

$packages = Get-Content c:\scripts\packages.txt
Foreach ($package in $packages){
 Remove-appxpackage $package
  Start-Sleep -Seconds 15 #change this as needed
}
